vet the alnlght sitting but the eVlctions
ON Lord Lansaowne's Queens County estate,
which began yesterday and threaten 10 con,

pelled landlords all over ireland 10 make large
abatements IN their rents this winter Ihrough

grant q penny of reduction, although on scverai
nronerties immediately adjoining his the Land
Courts have reduced rents by 40 per cent All MS
tenants demanded was reduction OF ~ per CENT
on judicial. or revised, and 80 per cent Oh hoh-
judicial or rents and on this being refused
they adopted the Plan of Campaign. Three weeks

oepcy men broke IN the doors, WINDOWS
and roof of Mr. Kilbrides comfortable house, ana
in fnging out the furniture smashed most OF IL 10
pieces 1t was difficult to restrain the Indignation
of The people. but Mr.. William OBrlen. Editor OF
United Ireland arrived from Dublin, aud his exer-
tions, with those of the priests, prevented col
lision with the armed forces When the eviction
was completed, moreover, they managed 10 hold a
meeting and assert the right OF free Speech not
wlthstanding the proclamation.
